Números 5:1-3

1 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés, diciendo:

2 Manda a los hijos de Israel que echen del campamento a todo leproso, a todo el que padece de flujo y a todo el que es inmundo por causa de un muerto.

3 Echaréis tanto a hombres como a mujeres; los echaréis fuera del campamento para que no contaminen su campamento, donde yo habito en medio de ellos.

Números 5:1-3 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO NUMBERS 5

This chapter contains a repetition of some former laws, concerning putting unclean persons out of the camp, Nu 5:1-4; making restitution in case of trespass against another, Nu 5:5-8; and of giving the offering of all holy things and all hallowed things to the priests, Nu 5:9,10; and a new law concerning jealousy, in a man, of his wife, Nu 5:11-14; when she was to be brought to the priest, and various rites and ceremonies to be used, Nu 5:15-23; who was to give her bitter water as a trial of her chastity, which, if guilty, would have a strange effect upon her, and make her accursed, but if not, would not affect her, and she would be free and happy, Nu 5:24-31.
